A ban on mobile letterboxes?

I understand the point behind this law being pushed in France; I've always felt these sweaty mobile tents are hugely oppressive of women and a striking symbol of the misogynistic nature of Islam. This isn't some attack on Islam at all, rather I'm just understanding the reasoning behind this law.

The problem for me though is choice, which is where it becomes rather murky. Who are we to say what people can and can't wear? True it's an incredibly anti-social form of dress but it's their choice to wear it.. or is it? You could argue that "choice" is merely the product of being brought up brainwashed by the religion their parents forced upon them. In fact that is something I would agree with. However you can't go passing laws to ban a style of dress, not only is it hugely draconian but it sets a precedent and where do you stop? The potential law claims that ANYONE wearing anything covering their face would be fined, how far can that go? Are the French government going to be fining Motorcyclists if they're wearing their helmet when not riding a bike? To me it just seems like a knee-jerk law for what is such a small "problem" in France. Of course it's related to the much bigger issue of multiculturalism and integration, which has caused all kinds of mayhem in France in recent years, but isn't this just a bit too pedantic and petty?

The answer is through education, not through sartorial prohibition. You don't force people to integrate by using laws to regulate their clothing, if anything that alienates people further.

I know, look at me being all serious and political. I'm a bit worn out from ranting at the moment.
